Open Cell Foam Rubber Sheets

Open cell foam is made by combining chemicals together with water which creates a reaction.

Open cell foam rubber sheets.

The foam is made up of interlinked cells that form a sponge like structure for shock absorption and sound insulation. These sheets are an open cell rubber variation that is ideal for use as seals gaskets and protective padding. Black foam rubber sheet 02 128 0125 the home depot. Closed cell foam is created by forcing gas into the foam while in a liquid state.

Open cell foams are in general lighter in weight and less dense compared with closed cell foams. That s because the cell formation within the material is broken i e the netting is open and not filled with inflated balloons. This causes the formation of thousands of tiny bubbles each one completely sealed off from the ones around it. Open cell sponge rubber and plastic foam sheets solid rubber and plastic sheeting partnership with gasket cutters fabricators and resellers worldwide as with all our materials monmouth s rubber sheets are sold in partnership with gasket cutters fabricators and resellers worldwide.

Foam is commonly divided into two types of rubber based on cellular structure. Open cell foam strips are slim lengths of synthetic material that can be cut to size for packaging cushioning and insulation applications where water resistance isn t needed. As they chemicals are strongly mixed in industrial mixers bubbles begin to form and the mixture expands and solidifies into what is called a foam bun. Closed cell sponge rubber is created by distributing gas through the rubber during production creating sealed air pockets within the rubber rubber cal closed cell sponge rubber neoprene 1 8 in.

These sheets are extremely soft and compressible allowing for greater flexibility and recovery after compression. We provide custom fabrication of these materials through various cutting technologies and bonding methods.
